indeed, more people needed here. I cannot say I have any sort of overview about 
the recently added CCR functionality. I have only only spent some time on 
debugging to make sure features that worked before got unbroken again. And of 
course, I don’t dive rebreathers myself (currently I am not diving anything 
unfortunately, stupid flu!) so all my knowledge is from hearsay anyway.

Re the compression thing: I agree it should not be in memory, only when saving 
files. And then repeated values should be omitted rather than set to zero as 
zero has a special meaning: Zero set point indicates that we are on OC and 
shortcuts all CCR calculations.

BTW, another thing that need some looking after (for which I did not have time, 
yet) is when we calculate SAC rates: For the PSCR code, that I submitted on 
Friday, the steady state value of pO2 depends (amongst other things) on the 
current SAC. But often enough (at least when I was testing) it had not yet been 
calculated so the pO2 calculation has to resort to the default value (see the 
first if() in the code). My impression is that in many cases, there should be 
enough data to have a SAC but we only calculate it later in the code path. This 
is particularly bad, since we have two different default values for SAC, one 
for bottom time and one for deco, except that for real dives (those downloaded 
from dive computers) this distinction does not make sense.

Best
Robert
